Title: $12.4 Million Awarded to School Systems in 24 States, D.C. to Promote Instruction of Critical Foreign Languages
Body: September 11, 2009: The U.S. Department of Education announced the award of more than $12.4 million in Foreign Language Assistance Program grants to local and state school systems in 24 states and the District of Columbia, aimed at promoting the instruction of foreign languages critical to national security.

Title: Article: Smooth Opening for Coppell Charter School that Offers Arabic, French
Body: From http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/education/stories/DN-manara_25met.ART.State.Edition1.4bbcb1a.html Smooth opening for Coppell charter school that offers Arabic, French By DIANNE SOLÍS August 25, 2009 The confident and the scared marched into the Manara Academy on Monday, just like most schoolchildren in Texas. The public charter school, one of the few in the state offering Arabic and French classes, burst on the scene in Coppell with controversy: Residents pushed for zoning permits, 10-foot "no-play buffers," and complaints that traffic would increase. The previous tensions between adults over the opening of the elementary school on the grounds of Christ our Savior Lutheran Church didn't rematerialize Monday. Traffic appeared to glide smoothly along Heartz Road and the school grounds, where Manara is renting the space for a year. "Manara" means "lighthouse" in Arabic. The academy bills itself as a nonsectarian, nonreligious school. The Texas State Board of Education approves charter schools, which are public and taxpayer-funded.

Body: From http://tech.yahoo.com/news/afp/20090823/tc_afp/hongkongchinatechnologyeducationlanguage Smartphones drive language learning innovation by Guy Newey August 23, 2009 The boom in "smartphones", led by Apple's iPhone, has inspired language learning tools that would have been inconceivable just months ago -- and a Hong Kong firm is leading the charge. A search of Apple's online store comes up with around 1,000 options for "language learning" ranging from dictionaries and flash cards to a language suite teaching Klingon, a language used in the sci-fi TV series Star Trek. Ken Carroll, of Praxis Language whose ChinesePod brand of online and audio learning tools has more than 250,000 followers, said the new technology offered huge possibilities, but added new products had to be carefully tailored.
